The Support Robots is the term given to the robot-like "gadget helpers" of certain Kamen Riders. They are usually used for reconnaissance, but can have a wider range of function depending upon the type. The first Support Robots appeared in the Heisei era series Kamen Rider Hibiki. However, they have become a prominent part of the Heisei Kamen Rider Series Phase 2. The Support Robots of the Neo-Heisei era are powered by the collectible devices of the series.

  • Disk Animals: The Disk Animals were the first Support Robots, despite being not robots at all, appearing in Kamen Rider Hibiki. The Disk Animals had two modes: disk and animal. They were activated or awakened through the use of the Riders' transformation devices. They were primarily used for reconnaissance, to search out the Makamou, but they also had limited combat abilities for assisting a Rider.
  • Zecters: The Zecters are the Support Robots of Kamen Rider Kabuto. Zecters are devices created by ZECT as a compilation of mobile systems that affect space/time. They were created by the Natives, a species of Worm that arrived on Earth 35 years ago. These Natives in turn gave the Zecters to humans so that they may protect them from alien Worms that would arrive later. The Zecters appear instantaneously from the ZECT headquarters to the selected personnel so that they may transform into the respective Rider to fight any Worms in the vicinity. Each Rider (except for the Hopper Riders and the Kabutech Riders) possesses two forms: the bulky armored cocoon-like Masked Form (マスクドフォーム, Masukudo Fōmu) and the sleeker Rider Form (ライダーフォーム, Raidā Fōmu) which can use the Clock Up (クロックアップ, Kurokku Appu), a system that allows the Rider to move at high speed. They also have the ZECTroopers to help them. Worth note is the Zecters have a mind of their own and can reject their present user in search of another one if they so choose.
  • Kivats: The Kivats are the Support Robots, despite being a Demon Race of Kamen Rider Kiva. The Kivats possess Demon Imperial Powers (魔皇力, Maōryoku) which they can instill into other lifeforms usually through their Active Fangs (アクティブファング, Akutibu Fangu) or other means. Some of them possess additional powers that is different amongst them. They also possess personas on their faces that are tradition in their families.
  • Memory Gadgets: The Memory Gadgets are the Support Robots for the Kamen Riders of Kamen Rider W. The Memory Gadgets had two forms: Gadget and Live. The Memory Gadgets functioned much like their form would suggest when in Gadget Mode, e.g. the Stag Phone is a communications device. However, they also had other abilities, e.g. the Spider Watch was also a grappling line. They transformed into their animal forms via Pseudo Memories, which combined the abilities of the Gadget Mode with the abilities of the animal. The Memory Gadgets were used prominently as not only could they be used for reconnaissance, but also in combat.
